I got up at 500AM to drive downto the bridge, as I was leaving I said self, don't forget the tripod, which I promptly did, but I forged forward. I waited and tried different compositions for about an hour. this is the one I liked best.
boosted saturation
unsharp mask
crop
unsharp again
I hope it is not too dark, did not preview on the CRT.

Ah, the most photographed bridge in town. I've seen (and taken) a lot of photos of this one but hadn't thought of this angle before. It feels like it's leaning to the right a bit, but I like the deep blue sky against the gold reflection on the water. The one bright spot in the trees is distracting. Bridges tend to lead to a horizontal orientation, but the vertical orientation with lots of sky works well here.
I hate to be one of many here - but why didn't you straighten this??! It'll really lose you points unfortunately, because this is a good photo otherwise. Nice colour and a good time of day - sky is pretty too.
I love this picture of the bridge, the sky is gorgeous expecially the coloring of it! The reflecting of teh bridge on the water is also very pretty. This is my favorite picture yet!!
straightening the horizon and a bit more brightness to bring out the texture of the high clouds would help....still one of the best I've seen. Good composition, good use of light.
A bit too dark and a bit too tilted, but the feelings this picture creates in me make sacraficing detail worthwhile. Is it real or is it reflection? Does it bridge the High Way or the Low Road? Are the possibilities for crossing the Bridge infinite? Or, does one just sit and feel this moment forever?
I would have liked this a little more, if there was a little less sky and more foreground. Also would have liked it a little bit lighter to catch more of the reflection of the bridge.
